Confirmed from Fontana Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

Sprawling park with pirate-ship-themed playground, water slides and skate park.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 5 mentions

“Nice beautiful park, many amenities, and a dog park, perfect place to take the little 1s to burn off energy for free.”

The park has amazing shade, great for a hot day. I have a 2 year old and the activities and play ground are great for her age. Definitely recommend.

Loved this park no nice and clean ! My daughter and nephew loved it especially the pirate ship love the swing safe for small children and they can not fall off . The big fountain was not running but besides that awesome park!

★★★★★ — Stephanie , Apr 2024

I love this park. I love how there is 3 playgrounds to meet the needs of more children. There is the area with the giant insects to climb on, there's the area with the giant ship for the kids who like to play make believe and then there's the playground with the giant jungle gym and swing set.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
